YKK metal zip 580 in antique brass, open-ended, 65 cm

YKK metal zip 580 in antique brass, 65 cm long

The YKK zip 580 in 65 cm length has antique brass metal teeth and is intended for heavier fabrics such as jeans, leather jackets, trousers and bags. The chain is 5 mm wide and the tape 30 mm. Metal teeth are more robust than plastic ones, and the antique brass tone gives jeans, leather and bags a classic look.

Sewing it into jeans, leather and bags

For thick fabrics and leather you need a suitable machine needle, such as a jeans or leather needle, and a zip foot so that you can sew close to the teeth. Pin the zip in place before sewing. With leather, hold it in place with clips instead, as leather does not tolerate pinholes.

Which length do you need?

This version is 65 cm long. Measure the opening the zip is going into before you buy. The same type of zip with the same colour number 580 is also available in 60 cm and 70 cm.
